title: Current cellular immunological hurdles in pig-to-primate xenotransplantation.
abstract: In this review, we summarize the work published over the last few years relative to cellular immunological hurdles encountered specifically in pig-to-primate xenotransplantation models. The works summarized here cover both the innate and adaptative cellular immune response as well as strategies to overcome them and consequently prevent xenograft rejection.
